Let's divide 74253687 by 257
We want to divide 74253687 by 257.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 257

Advancing to step 2:
74 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 742 / 257

Let's proceed to step 3:
257 goes into 742 2 times with a remainder of 228.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 514 from 742.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 228 and repeat the process: 2285 / 257

Step 4:
257 can be fit into 2285 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 229.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2285, we get 229.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 229, then repeat: 2293 / 257

On to step 5:
257 goes into 2293 8 times with a remainder of 237.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288.0
If we take 2056 away from 2293, we end up with 237.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 237, then carry on: 2376 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2376 by 257, we get 9 with a remainder of 63.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2889.0
If we subtract 2313 from 2376, we get 63.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 257

On to step 7:
When dividing 638 by 257, we get 2 with a remainder of 124.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28892.0
If we take 514 away from 638, we end up with 124.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 124, then repeat: 1247 / 257

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 257 fits into 1247 4 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 288924.0
If we subtract 1028 from 1247, we get 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
257 can be fit into 2190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 134.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288924.8
The remainder is 134 after subtracting 2056 from 2190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1340 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288924.85
If we subtract 1285 from 1340, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 257 fits into 550 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288924.852
If we take 514 away from 550, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 103.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288924.8521
If we subtract 257 from 360, we get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
257 can be fit into 1030 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288924.85214
If we subtract 1028 from 1030, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
257 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288924.85214
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 200 by 257, we get 0 and a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288924.85214
If we subtract 0 from 200, we get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 288924.85214 and a remainder of 2e-06.
